scarynikki12 July 4, 2016 Share July 4, 2016 Cons are a great way to make money especially for actors who aren't in demand but have a group of devoted fans. Richard Hatch is at Comic Con every year and I always get his autograph. He's super nice and people (not me I'm cheap) buy his photos for $50 at minimum. I also see Julie Newmar (she and her daughter recognize me now cause I've talked about my Catwoman love with them) and some of the new Battlestar Galactica actors every year for the same kind of deal. Done right they can make a lot of money. KC is smart to take advantage of that. 2 Link to comment

I don't follow the con circuit outside of this board, so my knowledge is limited - however, it does seem like Colin only does the HVFF. And if my friends organized a paid weekend for me to get together and hang out with each other while being paid & adored by fans I would sign up for it in a heartbeat. Heck even if was being organized by professional strangers, I might sign up in the location, timing and people going were favorable. I'm not a celebrity or have any significant role in anything - but I love to travel, have luggage, the ability to gab about nothing and public speak - so any con that is looking for talent to book for panels feel free to contact my people :) On ANOTHER note, regarding KC ~ It's different if the sole or majority of your income is from cons. But whatever, KC is doing her thing, I wish her nothing but the best. I hope she is pursuing other opportunities, however, I'm no invested in finding out what those are. And KC is totally angling to get back into a Flarrowverse show, wouldn't anybody? It's decent money, she seems to be friends with cast, and its a comic book series so no one truly "dies" in theory (and Arrow has resurrected a lot of dead people). Even then there are always flashbacks & AUs, plus Black Siren is not dead. Trust me, I don't think TPTB have any intentions of bringing her back in an substantial capacity, but I can't fault the girl for trying. It's different if I was angry with certain aspects or how situations were handled like ST and refused to come back. Or if I was being offered an abundance of roles that returning would be problematic. But she seems to be caught in a really grey neutral zone, where other than killing off LL, she seems OK with TPTB and it doesn't seem like the world of opportunities is knocking on her door. So she might be dying to move forward and leave Flarrowverse behind in a cloud of dust - however bills & life do not pay for itself. Working the cons is a good career option for her on multiple levels. And if people are willing to pay, I think it will be a long time before KC leaves booking the con circuit. However, I fully anticipate her cancelling last minute and showing up late to fully continue. I do have a very tiny con near my hometown that recently had John Wesley Shipp as the headliner (I also think he has local ties to the area). I almost went for Dawson purposes but it was last minute so I didn't bother. If she books that one then I might side-eye it a little bit, it might be scrapping the bottom of the barrel. 1 Link to comment
Angel12d July 4, 2016 Share July 4, 2016 If the money and interest is there, I say keep doing cons for as long as you can. It's probably the easiest money these people will ever make. 9 Link to comment

As I said I don't have a problem with celebrities meeting fans and getting paid for autographs and pics, I don't really care. What I think doesn't really make sense is to make them do a panel about a show they left years ago. 1 Link to comment
Primal Slayer July 4, 2016 Share July 4, 2016 There are plenty of actors who make majority of their money off of cons once their careers dry out. Nicholas Brendon (Xander - BTVS) comes to mind. Link to comment
Velocity23 July 4, 2016 Share July 4, 2016 I remember Nicholas had some appearances on Criminal Minds. But the one thing that tainted my memory was when he played the rapist in Private Practice. Link to comment
Primal Slayer July 4, 2016 Share July 4, 2016 3 hours ago, Chaser said: 99.9% sure the movie she mentioned a couple times was the Wolves one filmed awhile back. Staying up in VanCity, the Con PR. IMO, she is angling for her role back in any compacity. If anything, the two (KC/Flarrowverse) have already had conversations about her coming back or not which could be why she stays in VC. Her staying around VC isn't going to make their ears perk up if the general interest isn't there. Link to comment
Velocity23 July 4, 2016 Share July 4, 2016 Or because of her boyfriend. She only had dinner with AK. But that could just be the usual meal he has with the people fire. Link to comment

SmallScreenDiva July 6, 2016 Share July 6, 2016 I wish that cigarette was shorter. The length seems odd and throws off the photos, IMO. Still, EBR is gorgeous in those photos. I love her in black and white. Sounds like there's more to the shoot because she almost mentioned breaking into construction sites, LOL! Probably never gonna happen but I wish Tyler Shields could persuade Stephen to do a shoot with her. He can stand or sit like a tree stump and EBR can pose around him :P 6 Link to comment
Angel12d July 6, 2016 Share July 6, 2016 I agree. These photos always make me bitter that they never do photoshoots with SA/EBR. Just think of the hotness we're missing out on. *Glares at CW PR* 9 Link to comment

Angel12d July 6, 2016 Share July 6, 2016 (edited) I'd be more inclined to vote in his dumb sports poll if he or any of the cast or even the CW ever acknowledged any of the fandom poll/awards stuff. Until then he can do it himself. Bye! Haha. Edited July 6, 2016 by Angel12d 7 Link to comment

AyChihuahua July 6, 2016 Share July 6, 2016 I'm not doing any polls for any Arrow stuff or non-Arrow stuff they want help with. Well, maybe something related to Digg and/or Felicity, who I still love. SA and his friendzoning comments and the EPs and their idiotic story choices deserve the crappy poll results they're getting.
